Get array output of one function in another function php

Question

I have below controller function of codeigniter,

public function add_attachments($openid)
{
            $config = array(
                    'upload_path' => './uploads/attachments/',
                    'allowed_types' => 'gif|jpg|png|jpeg|doc|pdf',
                    'max_size' => '1024000000',
                    'multi' => 'all'
                ); 
            $this->load->library('upload', $config);   
            if ( ! $this->upload->do_upload())
            {
                $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors()); 
            }
            else
            {
                $data = $this->upload->data();  
            }
            $new_array = array_column ($data, 'full_path');         
}

I can get output of $new_array,

But i want to use this output in another function which is just below that in same class,

example,

public function getback()
{
print_r($new_array);
}

in short, once 1 function is executed, some values stored in variable and need to use in another function,

How can i do that?

Thanks,

use this line in $this->getback($new_array); add_attachments in this function — Ramki

Simply pass that value within that function as

public function add_attachments($openid) {
    $config = array(
        'upload_path' => './uploads/attachments/',
        'allowed_types' => 'gif|jpg|png|jpeg|doc|pdf',
        'max_size' => '1024000000',
        'multi' => 'all'
    );
    $this->load->library('upload', $config);
    if (!$this->upload->do_upload()) {
        $error = array('error' => $this->upload->display_errors());
    } else {
        $data = $this->upload->data();
    }
    $new_array = array_column($data, 'full_path');
    $this->getback($new_array);
}

public function getback($new_array = array()) {
    print_r($new_array);
}

Edited

Passing data using js

public function add_attachments($openid) {
   //your code...
   echo json_encode($new_array);exit;
}

Now within your ajax success function

 success:function(data){
     var data = $.parseJSON(data)
     //send it to your another function
 }

by adding $this->getback($new_array); in add_attachment function will also execute this method, which i don't want because getback() method is run with another AJAX request, in short there are two AJAX request in form submit button, one is to upload files with dropzone, and then it will submit form as ajax to get return values

Try using echo json_encode($new_array);exit; and then you'll get that array within your success function and you can pass that value from there into another function
